'Worst Song Ever': TikTok Reacts to the Ice Cream Song From 'Doctor Strange 2'

'Worst Song Ever': TikTok Reacts to the Ice Cream Song From 'Doctor Strange 2'

A seconds-long scene from Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness is now the subject of some scathing TikTok videos.

The "ice cream song" -- a scene in the film where two little kids belt about the frozen treat -- is taking some heat from moviegoers on the platform who describe it as "cringey," "embarrassing" and a "monstrosity."

As a cherry on top, a sound used in some videos dubs it the "worst song ever." However, plenty of others have come to the dessert-themed song's defense. Let's get into it.

Warning: Spoilers for Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness (and an out-of-key song about ice cream) lie ahead. 

A lot goes down in Sam Raimi's superhero blockbuster Doctor Strange 2. For the purposes of this article, you need to know that the movie's main antagonist is Wanda Maximoff/The Scarlet Witch, who's played by Elizabeth Olsen. She's obsessed with the idea of living alongside "her" children, twin boys Tommy and Billy, who exist in other universes, but not her own.  

At one point in the film, Wanda uses a dark magical ability called dream-walking to temporarily take over the body of a Wanda in another reality. The kids that belong to that Wanda don't realize what's happened, and they call their mother over to show her something.

Despite the villainous path Wanda took to get here, this is a poignant moment. She's finally able to convene with the kids she clearly loves and feels a motherly connection toward. We watch closely to see what happens next.

Turns out, it's an incredibly off-tune duet about ice cream.

"We like ice cream, like every child should. We promise to be good," the boys belt in unison, hoping to convince Wanda to give them the treat.

Over on TikTok, some have given the song a brutal review. "Me leaving AMC after hearing the worst duet ever in cinematic history," wrote one user in a TikTok that's since gained more than 270,000 likes. 

Another posted a video clip from the AMC show Breaking Bad with text that says, "The writers of Doctor Strange crafting the cringiest song I've ever heard." (They followed up in the comments, saying, "No hate to the actors though.")

@tjx.george 😀 🔫 #breakingbad#doctorstrange#doctorstrangeinthemultiverseofmadness#breakingbadmeme#marvelmeme♬ Worst song ever - Brandon

Other users, however, have defended the kids' duet. "This scene was fine, and kids do that lol," wrote one user in the comments. "It wasn't even bad," wrote another.

Here's a roundup of TikToks about the ice cream song. (For more balanced discussion, read the comments). Doctor Strange 2 -- dessert-themed songs and all -- has crossed half a billion dollars at the worldwide box office... so I guess they have the last laugh.

"My gf looking at me during this scene, after I spent the last four months hyping up Multiverse of Madness as the best thing since oreos and milk." (The TikTok's creator adds, "Zero hate directed towards the child actors. They had to do what was needed to secure the bag.")

And finally, a few words from an ice cream song defender.

@crypticapricity

When I was ten my friend I made a fake commercial for magic slime and kept saying 'potato' in it cause we thought potatoes were funny. I also wrote earth and water versions of Let It Go titled 'Let It Grow' and 'Let It Flow' respectively and I thought I was a lyrical genius

Motorola adds three 5G Edge 20 phones to its lineup for international markets

Motorola adds three 5G Edge 20 phones to its lineup for international markets

Motorola has three new 5G phones in store for buyers next month, with one starting as low as €350 ($416). But Motorola fans in the US are out of luck. The new devices are only arriving in international markets.

The new phone lineup -- the €350 Motorola Edge 20 Lite, €500 ($594) Edge 20 and €700 ($832) Edge 20 Pro -- all feature three rear camera lenses and sub-6Ghz 5G connectivity, allowing them to tap into the slower but more reliable 5G networks being rolled out across the globe. The Edge 20 will arrive in August in select markets across Europe, Latin America, the Middle East and Asia, while the Lite and Pro version will come to the same regions, as well as the Middle East. 

While they won't arrive in the US, Motorola said it "is excited to share its commitment to deliver a new 5G Edge family device in North America this fall."

The first 5G phones available in 2019 cost significantly more than their 4G counterparts. But the coronavirus pandemic has forced handset makers to reevaluate their launch plans and drop pricing for 5G phones much more quickly than many market watchers had expected. Many have introduced mainstream devices alongside or shortly after pricier flagship models. And even new, premium models have seen steep discounts. 

So far this year, Motorola has taken a different strategy, focusing initiallyon budget devices to appeal to a wide swath of price-sensitive buyers. The new Edge 20 lineup is its first effort in 2021 to introduce higher-end devices -- but still keeping pricing lower than what some rivals have introduced.

With the Edge 20 devices, Motorola has "gone beyond the previous generation of Edge in nearly every category, bringing more powerful processors, a main camera with bigger pixels, our first ever periscope style zoom, a faster display refresh rate, faster battery charging and expanded experiences on the Ready For software platform," Motorola said Thursday in a blog post. "But we're also bringing these incredible new features at more accessible price points."

The Motorola Edge 20 Lite will feature a 108MP camera, 5,000 mAh battery, Android 11 and a 6.7-inch screen. The battery could provide about two days of use without charging, Motorola said, and a TurboPower 30 feature will give users a day's worth of power in just 10 minutes of charging. The Edge 20 Lite will be available in two colors, electric graphite and cyber tea. 

The Motorola Edge 20 will have the same 108MP main camera, 6.7-inch screen size and Android 11 but will come with a smaller, 4,000 mAh battery because of the device's thinner size. The 6.99-millimeter thickness of the Edge 20 makes it one of the thinnest 5G phones on the market, Motorola said. If quick power is needed, the TurboPower feature will allow the phone eight hours of charge in 10 minutes. It will be available in three different colors -- frosted onyx, frosted pearl and frosted emerald. 

The Motorola Edge 20 Pro will feature a 108MP main camera, a 4,500 mAh battery, Android 11 and a 6.7-inch screen. The Motorola Edge 20 Pro will give users 30 hours of battery life on 5G without needing to recharge and an ultra-wide angle lens equipped with Macro Vision. The lens will allow users to capture four-times more of the scene in the frame. The third "periscope style" camera will be Motorola's first periscope style lens which allows for light bending up to 90 degrees and five times the distance. It will also be available in three different colors -- midnight sky, iridescent cloud and indigo vegan leather.

Don't mess with a pit full of rattlesnakes. Video screenshot by Amanda Kooser/CNET

Sean Penn and a pit full of reptiles have something in common. Rattlesnakes don't like paparazzi, either.

YouTube user Michael Delaney posted a video Sunday with the simple but intriguing title "Rattlesnakes strike GoPro." With a teaser like that, there's no way you can resist taking a look.

If snakes give you a serious case of the heebie-jeebies, you might not want to watch the video. It involves not just a single snake, which is serious enough, but a whole writhing pile of rattlers, busy warning the camera not to come closer by shaking their tails. This is the soundtrack of your nightmares.

The dramatic slo-mo footage shows a series of three bites, the last of which knocks the camera into the pile of snakes. Perhaps what's most impressive is that even in slow-motion the snake bites come so fast as to be a blur.

Delaney is no stranger to combining technology and animal life. His previous videos include the use of a DJI Phantom 3 drone to check on a herd of cattle (the cows are much more chill about the camera's presence than the snakes). Delaney offers cow and agriculture-monitoring camera kits for ranchers through his CowCams business.

You might wonder how Delaney retrieved his wayward GoPro to share the video. He reported on his CowCams Facebook page that he "used a hockey stick to fish it out."

This is a great time to note that you probably shouldn't be trying this sort of snake-GoPro experiment yourself. Here's hoping Delaney had the world's longest selfie stick in use while he was capturing the footage.

2021 Honda Civic Type R Limited Edition will be sold in the US

2021 Honda Civic Type R Limited Edition will be sold in the US

Once upon a time, the Honda Civic Type R was the fastest front-wheel-drive car to lap the Nürburgring Nordschleife, laying down a 7-minute, 43.8-second lap of Germany's infamous track in 2017. But then Renault came along and broke the Civic's record by four whole seconds with the Megane RS Trophy-R. Whether or not the goal is to try and regain 'Ring bragging rights, Honda knew it had to eke more performance out of the Type R.

Making its debut in Milan, Italy on Wednesday, the unimaginatively named Civic Type R Limited Edition ups the hatchback's ante. Honda will sell this car around the world, with 600 examples earmarked for the US, 200 for Japan, 100 for Europe and 100 for Canada (1,000 total). All of them will be painted Phoenix Yellow and will have a serialized plaque on the center console.

Based on the updated 2020 Civic Type R, the Limited Edition doesn't get increased engine output; its 2.0-liter turbo-four produces the same 306 horsepower and 295 pound-feet of torque as the standard model. Instead, Honda is offering this car with specially tuned dampers, recalibrated steering and -- most importantly -- higher-performance tires. The car you see here rolls on Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 tires, which are some of the finest track-ready rubbers available today.

The European-spec Limited Edition won't have a radio or air conditioning, but all of the US-spec cars will.

Steven Ewing/Roadshow

The 2021 Limited Edition further improves performance by reducing weight. Thanks to things like lightweight, 20-inch BBS wheels, fewer sound-deadening materials and the removal of the hatch wiper, tonneau cover and rear heater ducts, the US-spec Limited Edition is roughly 46 pounds lighter than a stock Type R.

We have to make the "US-spec" distinction because the European version will actually be even lighter. These cars will have their audio systems and air conditioning stripped out, which will result in an additional 30-pound weight loss. Honda won't be offering this super-bare-bones example in the US; a spokesperson tells us there simply isn't any customer demand. For what it's worth, Honda offered an audio/HVAC-delete option for the S2000 CR in the late 2000s, and only a small percentage of buyers went this route.

Honda is planning to take the Civic Type R Limited Edition to the Nürburgring, but not necessarily with the intent of trying to set a new record. 

The 2021 Civic Type R Limited Edition will go on sale in the US this summer, and Honda will release official pricing information closer to that time. The 2020 Type R costs $37,950, including $955 for destination, and we fully expect this limited-run variant to command quite a bit more coin than that.

Apartment Utilities Are Getting More Expensive: 10 Ways to Lower Bills

Apartment Utilities Are Getting More Expensive: 10 Ways to Lower Bills

This story is part of Home Tips, CNET's collection of practical advice for getting the most out of your home, inside and out.

With gas and water bills and energy prices up 30% (PDF) from last year, there's no time like the present to think about energy savings in your apartment. But when you're renting, it's not always possible to implement major energy-conserving changes, like weatherstripping or buying all new energy-efficient appliances. You might not be able to undertake big projects as an apartment dweller since even small tweaks could result in a lease violation.

The good news is that a few little adjustments really can help you with long-term savings. Turning off lights, setting your thermostat to an ideal temp and showering instead of bathing are some obvious ways to cut down on energy use, but there are some other tricks to save as a renter. 

Here are 10 practical ways to start saving on your utility bills now. (For more, check out our picks for the top smart lights, smart thermostats and other energy-saving smart devices.)

1. Switch your lighting 

When I moved into my apartment in Charlotte, North Carolina, one of the first things I did was install smart lighting. Why? It's easy and oh so effective. Just swapping out a few bulbs in your lamps or overhead lights can have a huge impact on your monthly invoices. 

Plus, smart lighting won't break the bank. You can find several LED smart bulbs from reputable brands that cost $20 apiece or less.

And if you want to save big on your electricity bill but don't necessarily want all the smarts, standard LED bulbs are a great place to start. With or without the smarts, LED bulbs are far more efficient than old-school incandescents. In fact, LED bulbs use about 75% less than incandescent bulbs.

2. Get the most out of your thermostat

Smart thermostats that automatically adjust the temperature of your space are one of the most effective ways to save. Many newer apartments will come with smart thermostats already installed, but what if you don't have an apartment with a smart thermostat? You could always talk with your landlord about installing one yourself, but once a smart thermostat is installed, it will be difficult to remove it again when you inevitably move out. 

The good news is a regular thermostat is also effective; Energy Star says a programmable model used correctly can add up to $180 in yearly savings. To save the most, make sure you set your thermostat to the ideal temperatures in both summer and winter.

According to the US Department of Energy, the best technique for staying cool yet minimizing utility costs in summer is to keep your home warmer than usual when no one is home and then setting the temperature as high as comfortably possible when home. And it's similar for winter: It's best to keep your thermostat at 68 F for most of the day during the winter season and then you can turn the temperature down by between 7 and 10 degrees when away or asleep. 

Here's more tips to save energy and money with your thermostat. 

Smart thermostats have extra features that help you save money over time.

3. Do laundry the right way

As someone who does laundry two or three times a week, I'm always looking for ways to do laundry more efficiently so my monthly energy and water bills aren't staggeringly high. There are several tips to save in the laundry room that don't require hand-washing or line-drying your clothes. 

One easy trick? Go cold. Simply washing your clothes in cold water can have a major impact on your savings since a whopping 90% of the energy used to wash a load goes into heating the water, according to Consumer Reports. 

4. Unplug devices and appliances 

Be wary of energy vampires (and no, I'm not talking about Edward Cullen). Energy vampires are devices and appliances that consume electricity when they're plugged in, but not in use. Certain items like toasters and phone chargers silently use up energy at all times and increase your bills, so simply unplugging these items can help you save. 

Find out exactly how much you can save by unplugging appliances here. 

5. Shower smarter 

The average American household uses more than 300 gallons of water every day, according to the Environmental Protection Agency. Shortening your showers can help you save on your water bills, but you could also consider purchasing a low-flow showerhead. The EPA estimates that the average household can save $70 in annual water and energy costs by switching to a WaterSense-approved showerhead.

Looking for more smart devices that can help you save on your utilities? Try these devices. 

6. Clean dishes the right way 

I've already mentioned how much water the average household uses. But did you know using that much water equates to about $83 per month on water costs? In addition to shortening showers, showering instead of bathing and using special showerheads, certain dishwashing practices can help you cut down too.

It may be hard to believe, but running your dishwasher uses less water and less energy than hand-washing. Cleaning dishes in the sink can use up to 27 gallons of water per load while an Energy Star certified dishwasher can use as little as 3 gallons per load. An Energy Star dishwasher can also use less than half the energy of washing dishes by hand.

Running your dishwasher uses less water and less energy than hand-washing.

7. Look for leaks and other maintenance issues

One simple water leak, a constantly running toilet or a window not fully sealed can cost you big when it comes to monthly utilities. Every so often, scan your apartment for potential hazards or broken objects and then let your landlord know. 

Pro tip: Also make sure you're replacing your air filter at least every three months to prevent your HVAC system from working harder than it needs to. 

8. Set your water heater to its ideal temperature

The Department of Energy says hot water heating can account for 14 to 18% of an average utility bill. Simply turning your water heater down to 120 degrees Fahrenheit from the default setting could save you up to $400. 

If you living in a townhouse or another rental where you have access to the water heater, you can adjust the setting yourself. If you don't have access, ask your landlord or the maintenance crew for help.

Learn more about your water heater and potential savings here. 

Most water heaters are set to 140 degrees Fahrenheit by default. 

Taylor Martin/CNET

9. Calculate what you should be spending 

When paying monthly bills, it's important to be mindful about your state's average cost of utilities to make sure you're not overspending. 

In the US, the average cost of utilities for renters is $240 a month. This estimate includes the basic utilities most apartment dwellers and renters are responsible for -- electricity, gas and water -- but that number will fluctuate based on location, usage and additional fees like trash, pest control, cable and internet costs. 

You can use this interactive map to check the average cost of utilities in your state. You can also use an energy cost calculator to estimate your monthly residential energy usage.

10. Talk to your landlord 

If you try these tips and tricks, but still want to improve your residence's energy efficiency then there's no harm in approaching your landlord. You can ask if the property owner is willing to make some changes around the apartment or townhome like installing a smart thermostat or weatherstripping windows. If not, you can always follow up by asking if you can make the improvements yourself to be reimbursed later.

Apple software head Federighi argues against sideloading iPhone apps in rare public speech

Apple software head Federighi argues against sideloading iPhone apps in rare public speech

Apple's head of software engineering, Craig Federighi, took to a stage in Lisbon, Portugal, to defend the way his company manages its popular App Store, and its tight control over the iPhone and iPad. In a public speech, which is a rare moment for any Apple executive outside one of the company's presentations, Federighi reiterated the company's arguments that sideloading could hurt phone security. 

"There's no such thing as a perfect security system," he told the crowd gathered for the annual Web Summit on Wednesday. But, he said, things would be much worse under a provision being considered for the EU's Digital Markets Act law that would force Apple to allow people to install apps from places other than its App Store.

"The constantly improving protections we've built have managed to stay one step ahead of the bad guys," he added. "Long story short, iPhone's security approach worked."

Federighi's comments mark the latest in a series of efforts by Apple to weigh in on pressing political discussions around the tech industry. And he's doing it at a time when lawmakers and regulators around the world are increasingly turning their attention to tech giants, including Apple, considering potential new rules to curb their power. When it comes to Apple in particular, that means turning attention to the App Store, the only sanctioned way to install apps on the company's most successful device, the iPhone.

Read more: Apple again makes its case against sideloading apps on iPhones in new security research report

Over the past year in particular, Apple's expanded beyond making public policy arguments at its product rollout events and in ads. In the past few months, the company has published public statements on its website aimed at politicians and interest groups, for example. It's also taken a swipe at a series of antitrust bills being considered before the US Congress that would, like the EU's Digital Markets Act, potentially weaken Apple's control over its devices and App Store. And in June, Apple CEO Tim Cook criticized the act in a videoconferenced speech to a tech event in France.

Apple has also faced legal challenges to its App Store. In the last year, Fortnite maker Epic Games has argued that Apple exerts too much control over our devices. Ultimately, Epic argued in its legal filings, Apple has become a "behemoth seeking to control markets, block competition and stifle innovation." Epic largely lost its legal case against Apple, though it is appealing.

While defending Apple's App Store to the Web Summit crowd, Federighi highlighted scamming and malware efforts on other platforms. He noted that Apple's iOS software that powers iPhones has a fraction of the reported malware attacks other devices have.

In one instance that Federighi highlighted, hackers attempted to convince people to install malware on their phones powered by Google's Android through a supposed COVID-19 app. 

"This happens all the time," he said. "Cybercriminals are clever."

Federighi also rebutted arguments that people should have the choice to decide what to put on their devices. "The fact is, one compromised device, including a mobile phone, can pose a threat to an entire network," he said. "Malware from sideloaded apps can jeopardize government systems, enterprise networks, public utilities, the list goes on. So even if you never sideload, your iPhone is less safe in a world where Apple is forced to allow it."

Snapchat's new full AR glasses can map 3D effects onto the world

Snapchat's new full AR glasses can map 3D effects onto the world

After three versions of Snapchat Spectacles, the social media company has a new pair coming that are real AR glasses. The news was announced at Snapchat's developer-focused keynote Thursday. But while these glasses can display 3D effects onto the real world, are wireless, and have hand tracking, these new glasses are currently aimed specifically at developers and creators who want to use these to explore AR creation on headsets. No price is listed for them, and they're only available by application.

Snapchat has promised it's working on a full-featured pair of augmented reality glasses for a while. It's one of many companies including Facebook, Niantic, and Qualcomm that are trying to crack the idea of everyday smart glasses. Snap's previous versions of Spectacles were focused on being mainly wearable camera-glasses. Last year's Spectacles 3 could layer glasses footage with 3D AR effects, but the AR needed to be seen and shared via a phone app; the glasses didn't have their own displays.

The glasses promise 2,000 nits of brightness, have a 26.3-inch diagonal field of view and dual waveguide displays. They have a touchpad control on the side, and look like thick sunglasses. They use a "Snap Spatial Engine" and have hand-tracking, can track the world with six degrees of freedom, and weigh 134 grams (4.7 ounces), according to Snapchat. 

Another interesting feature: They're wireless, something other AR glasses this size haven't achieved yet. But there are tradeoffs, too. The glasses only last for 30 minutes on a charge, according to Snapchat's specs, and have a limited 480x564-pixel resolution for each eye. The glasses have their own charging case (and it sounds like you'll need it). 

Snapchat

The glasses can launch AR camera effects called Lenses in-glasses and be used to play AR games. The field of view looks narrower than AR headsets like the Microsoft HoloLens and Magic Leap, but also are much smaller. The glasses can also capture video with two RGB cameras with a 115-degree field of view, at 1,920x1,440 pixels and 30 frames per second.

Snap has already been using these with a limited set of creators to build concepts and Lenses, according to the company's keynote. Release date and price aren't known yet.

Clay Weishaar, a Snap creator who was one of the early few to try the glasses out.

Snapchat

I spoke with Clay Weishaar, one of seven AR creators that Snapchat gave out early versions of the glasses to, to find out his impressions of using the device so far. What strikes me right off the bat is that these glasses can tap into Lenses and AR tools that are already being used by independent creators on Snapchat, which is a lot different than the more siloed and limited ways the HoloLens and Magic Leap initially approached their hardware.

"Snap's made it so you don't even change your workflow: you just put your glasses on, and you hit one button, and your vision is realized in front of you, which is super cool," Weishaar says. He sees location-based experiences and health and wellness as two areas of interest with these AR glasses. "I've used Headspace and these tools, and they're supposed to be relaxing, but you have to hold your phone up and you're actually getting fatigue," he says. "I really wanted to create this sort of relaxation and wellness experience inside of the glasses." Weishaar has worked in VR and AR before, but says he sees these wireless glasses as being more like other types of health wearables.

"You really don't notice a narrow field of view at all, because your head is tracked and the objects are tracked with you, so it really kind of stays in that view," Weishaar says of glasses so far, which have a more limited display area than other headsets like the Magic Leap or HoloLens. Weishaar says, compared to other headsets, that the big difference so far is the size and how lightweight they are. "The freedom of putting sunglasses on, it feels very casual. Even though it's geared towards creators, it feels very much like a consumer based experience ... the hands-free side of things is just a game-changer for me."

Weishaar sees a shift in how future Snapchat Lens development will adapt to these glasses, though: making experiences that are maybe longer, more like apps, and also don't involve people's own faces and facial-based effects. "The biggest shift with these are, you're creating an experience for people in real time to interact with AR in a physical environment, which is much different from content capture and sharing AR." He mentions possibilities for exercise apps using hand tracking, something I hadn't considered, but reminds me of ways the Oculus Quest is used for fitness.

The current glasses only have a 30-minute battery life, which seems like a calculated compromise to get to size and weight over performance. Maybe future versions will do better on battery, but it definitely seems like a major limitation. Or, it means they're devices you take on and off. But Weishaar has been using them seamlessly along with phone tools (the glasses work independently of the phone). 

He also says that so far, outdoors, the glasses' AR effects have worked really well. "It's more vibrant. If you've got a blue sky, and you look at AR in the sunlight, it's vibrant. That was one big thing I noticed. I walked outside and my mind was blown because I know how displays can get outdoors, as you do." Many AR headsets, like the HoloLens, have had a lot of trouble in the past making AR displays look good in bright areas. Snapchat's glasses, if nothing else, may have found a way of solving that.
